When I was new to eBay I found that items I wanted could be had at 60-80% of the retail price (or less!). So, in my excitement, I used to get into bidding wars and end up saving only 5 or 10% (or less) compared to retail. But then I realized: the items I wanted kept popping up over and and over and over. I didn't have to get into a bidding war...I just had to be patient and wait for one to come along at the right price.

Now, with the help of AS, I just find all the auctions featuring what I am looking for, set up my bid group, and wait to win one. If I'm really patient (it may take several weeks), I can get what I want for the lowest it will sell for.

I guess if you're into really rare things this wouldn't work.

Works for me, though!
